I also have difficulty managing dual homed machines. We manage a distribution across a corporate network, but also have machines one a private network.
The authentication does appear to be dependant on the interface. If I run cfengine on one interface and then the other, I need to delete the keys on the cfengine master. My limitied experience with this has suggested that the interface and IP used must remain the same for the machine, or the key must be removed and a new key trusted. The administrator who did the installation has made a group in which we specify which machine is distributed via which interface. In the links section, he then links a different update.conf depending on the interface to use. I don't like this manual approach to specifying the interface to use and would appreciate any feedback on how to do this sensibly. This sounds similar to the issues you are facing. - Jeremy _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
